To learn more about the client library capabilities, experiment with the various options. Feel free to explore the code to learn about the sample app implementation.

Congratulations! You have successfully built and run your first sharded application by using Elastic Database Tools on Azure SQL Database. Use Visual Studio or SQL Server Management Studio to connect to your SQL database and take a quick look at the shards that the sample created. You will notice new sample shard databases and a shard map manager database that the sample has created.

To add the client library to your own Maven project, add the following dependency in your POM file:

To create a project, open the ElasticScaleStarterKit.sln solution from the C# directory.

In the solution for the sample project, open the app.config file. Then follow the instructions in the file to add your Azure SQL Database server name and your sign-in information (username and password).

Build and run the application. When you are prompted, enable Visual Studio to restore the NuGet packages of the solution. This action downloads the latest version of the elastic database client library from NuGet.

To learn more about the client library capabilities, experiment with the various options. Note the steps that the application takes in the console output, and feel free to explore the code behind the scenes.

Important

We recommend that you always use the latest version of Management Studio so that you stay synchronized with updates to Azure and SQL Database. Update SQL Server Management Studio.
